A lazy bum transmigrates and marries a eunuch – it's awesome!

Chapter 291 Dong Yan Goes Offline

It was Jiang Xinyu's suggestion that Yu's second son come to listen in.

Yu Sheng was afraid that if he didn't let his son go with them, it would seem like he wasn't sincere, so he agreed.

Dong Yan was hooded and dragged into the cellar of the courtyard for interrogation, completely unaware that someone was standing in the shadows in the corner.

It can be said that Yu Ershao has been watching the entire process, from the time the Eastern Depot's agents began interrogating him until now.

He heard every single word Dong Yan said clearly.

The "truth" he revealed while pretending to be tortured was all a slander against his own father.

This isn't his family's strategist; he's their mortal enemy.

The Lady of the Supervisor was indeed wise. If she hadn't heard and seen it with her own ears and eyes, she would never have believed that Dong Yan said such things about the Yu family.

This suspicion might even affect their cooperation with Supervisor Xiao.

Young Master Yu thanked the servant and had Dong Yan escorted to the cellar. He then instructed the Yu family to load the goods onto the carriage and return to the mansion immediately.

He originally wanted to thank Xiao Yuan and his wife, but the messenger said that the supervisor was probably resting at the moment, so he didn't bother them anymore.

Dong Yan, who was thrown onto the carriage, felt utterly hopeless.

Chief Supervisor Xiao, Xiao Yuan, I never expected that the living Yama would travel all the way to Sichuan.

It seems he reached some kind of deal with Yu Sheng, otherwise he wouldn't have let Yu Sheng's second son watch him being interrogated.

He was so unwilling to accept it; he was so close to succeeding!

Once Yu Sheng's family is dead, all his enemies will be gone. But fate is cruel; he's been dragged into this mess with Xiao Yuan.

That damned eunuch was fiercely protective of his own; officials who were on good terms with him, if not rising rapidly in rank, almost all had a good ending.

Even if someone drags them down, their family and most of their property can be preserved.

This is not what he wanted to see. What he wanted to see was Yu Sheng's family destroyed, with no one left to live and no descendants to be wiped out.

When the Second Young Master Yu returned home, only Yu Hui was not there. Yu Sheng and the eldest son were waiting for news of him in the study.

Young Master Yu had Dong Yan dragged into the house like a dead dog, and then recounted everything he had seen and heard.

Yu Sheng looked at Dong Yan with a complicated expression. "Mr. Dong, I believe I have treated you well. Why did you do this to me?"

Are you deliberately trying to ruin my Yu family?

Were you the one who assassinated Hui'er?

If you're still a man, tell the truth. Out of consideration for our past acquaintance, I'll leave you a proper burial.

If Jiang Xinyu were in this situation, the most likely scenario would be that she would use the excuse of not having the strength to speak to lure the other person to her.

Then... he suddenly bit the other person.

Whether it's the nose, ears, or cheeks, it's all good; biting off one piece is worth the profit of biting off two.

Even if they are completely exhausted, they will take the opportunity to spit blood in the other person's face and then laugh as they kill themselves, leaving the other person's questions unanswered for the rest of their lives.

What do you mean by "complete corpse"? Even if my body is completely intact, how am I supposed to come back to life?

Anyway, it's all the same how you die.

Does it matter whether they are buried together or in separate pieces?

I'll make sure you don't get an answer and feel frustrated; whatever makes you unhappy, I'll be happy.

Unfortunately, oddballs like her are a minority. Dong Yan, like most villains, also has a desire to confide in others.

He killed so many members of the Yu family and destroyed their hopes of becoming a top-tier wealthy family in the Great Jin Dynasty.

If I don't speak out to spite Yu Sheng, it feels like I'm wearing fine clothes in the dark.

He accomplished so many great things, and he was proud of each and every one of them. Now that he's almost dead, he can finally show off.

Yu Sheng had no idea that a half-sister whose name he barely remembered was the cause of the Yu family's massacre.

Dong Yan is truly terrifying!

The thought of having someone who had been plotting to wipe out his entire family by his side sent chills down Yu Sheng's spine.

Thank goodness, if Xiao Yuan and his wife hadn't come to his home in Bashu, they would have been finished.

Even if he resisted the temptation and refused to rebel, this person probably still has a backup plan for him.

After showing off, Dong Yan laughed loudly, "You Yu family members are all idiots. Only your father is somewhat decent."

That old man tested me several times, afraid I would hold a grudge against your older brother, but luckily I was patient enough to avoid it all.

But that's it.

They don't even understand the principle of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free," and they would never leave any hidden dangers around them.

Your older brother is especially stupid; he's long forgotten about the fact that he caused my master's death.

Hahaha, you high and mighty masters don't treat us subordinates like human beings at all.

But don't forget, we also have thoughts and feelings. We shouldn't be grateful just because someone dies and we receive a few taels of silver.

I am a nobody, with a worthless life, but I traded this life for your entire Yu family and a prince of noble birth.

It was worth it, it was worth it for me.

Don't think that cooperating with Xiao Yuan will put you at ease. Those who hold military power and are not close confidants of the emperor have never met a good end.

I'll be waiting in the underworld to see what happens to you.

Having explained everything, Dong Yan had no intention of living. He used all his strength to bang his head against the floor, killing himself.

Upon seeing this, Yu Sheng's anger subsided considerably. He waved his hand and ordered his men to drag the corpse out and throw it into the mass grave.

Although he repeatedly told himself not to believe Dong Yan's instigation, Yu Sheng still took those words to heart.

He wasn't unfamiliar with history books; those who held significant military power throughout history were either related to the emperor or had been friends with him since childhood and had contributed to his rise to power.

Wasn't he entrusted with an important task by the old emperor because he was the old emperor's brother-in-law?

The Yu family supported the second prince's ascension to the throne partly to further their own power, but more so out of necessity.

So what if they don't support it?

How could other princes who ascended the throne tolerate their brothers' uncles holding significant military power?

They were also trying to protect themselves.

It seems that Hui'er's marriage to the Regent really needs the help of Xiao Yuan and his wife.

It really doesn't work...

Let's send our eldest granddaughter to the palace to be raised by the Empress Dowager as a child concubine for the young emperor.

There have been precedents of this when a country had a young ruler.

In order to win over ministers, the daughters of important officials were sent to the palace for early education under the pretext of selecting a suitable empress for the emperor.

It was convenient to observe the emperor's temperament and personality, and also to cultivate a relationship with him.

Once the emperor takes a liking to someone, she can be made a concubine or imperial consort.

Those with a youthful affection are more favored than those who enter the palace later through the imperial selection process.

Even if she didn't find a suitable match, having been raised by the Empress Dowager would allow her to marry into a good family.

The only problem is that the eldest granddaughter is only 4 years old, and I don't know if the eldest daughter-in-law will make a fuss.

It was right that Fanzi didn't let Young Master Yu disturb his master, otherwise the Yu family and all of them would have been beaten back by the master.

His master was in a bad mood today and is currently in his room reprimanding his wife.

He took it upon himself to sneak off to the enemy camp to apply for a guard position.

Revealing one's identity rashly would put oneself in danger.

Although his wife could have escaped unscathed without his rescue, Chief Supervisor Xiao, who had finally found a way to get to the bottom of things, couldn't resist taking advantage of the situation.

Jiang Xinyu knew she was in the wrong, so she could only endure her drowsiness and sign a bunch of unequal treaties.

Later, in her dazed state, she forgot what she had promised.

It doesn't matter, it's so cute to be nudging and licking like a little puppy and whimpering.

It's not too much to ask him to agree to anything.

One night, Xiao Yuan took out a three-foot-long scroll:

Honey, take a look at the 322nd promise you made to me!

So many different kinds of sauces and condiments (*^w^*)

Jiang Xinyu, supporting her back:

That was too hasty! ⊙﹏⊙∥
